Sounds like the drive tabs for trans oil pump went out Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Honest mechanic in Sacramento/ Auburn area?, Emily Williams, Sun, 13 Jul 2003 23:12:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Two weak fingers break on the converter that makes the trans oil pump run.
It's not really feasible to replace the converter alone since most of the time the oil pump housing and pump gear are worn out too.
It's possible to hook an oil pressure gauge up to a port right around where the trans dip stick enter the transmission housing. If the oil pressure is zero. Than that's what happened.
I would not waste money on a used transmission.
The bare bone cost (just tranny, fluids and gaskets) to install a Saab rebuilt tranny (1 year 12K miles warranty) at my shop would be approx $2800.00
Head gasket at the same time as tranny would be another, $400.00
Possible engine freeze plugs and heater housing gasket, $60.00
Reseal oil pump at the same time, $60.00
Replace alternator bushings, $60.00
Power steering bushings, $15.00
Water pump $100.00
All prices are only together with the tranny job. By themself it's a whole different price.
